Ana will bring a variety toys including, sonajas, baleros (cup and ball), lotería (Mexican bingo), dolls, toy money, etc. They are made with different materials including wood, metal, cloth, corn husk, ceramic, etc. Many of the toys date to the colonial period; some were used as teaching tools by missionaries and are associated with certain holidays.
